Much of the interaction between cows happens through mutual licking. The tongue is part of almost everything a cow does: she eats by ripping the grass off with her tongue; the tongue moves the cud back and forth during the resting time. A cow licks her calf as soon as it is borne. And older animals interact with each other by licking each other.
